All fees quoted must be fully inclusive of GST, travel, visas, meals and any other expenses.
No riders are offered.

Backline is provided on larger stages; however, artists may be required to bring their own drum kits and amplifiers.

It may be possible to drive up to the snowfield but it is recommended that artists park at the Bullocks Flat Skitube Terminal and use the Skitube. Access for the Skitube will be provided as well as all transport around the snow fields.

Transport from these locations to accommodation will be arranged.

The festival will also provide transport to and from venues. Transport requests must be made at least 4 hours prior to the required pickup time.
